• Flavor:               Is this a honeydew made from sweet secretions left by locusts on apple trees or is this honey from apple tree and black locust tree blossoms?  I searched the Internet and the packager's website for some hint about what floral source this honey might come from and have come up empty-handed.  I suspect that this is a honeydew because the black locust tree is not indigenous to New York, the stated geographical source of this honey.  The lid says this honey has dark notes of apple, vanilla and molasses.  I don't detect any apple flavor, but I can accept the vanilla claim.  There is a slightly bitter aftertaste, maybe that is what accounts for the molasses description.  You will have to try to figure this one out yourself.  It has a complex flavor that is not easily described.
